Lyrics Magnolia Mountain - Ryan Adams & The Cardinals

(One, two, three, four)
(One, two)

I wanna go to Magnolia Mountain
And lay my weary head down
Down on the rocks
On the mountain my savior made

Steady my soul and ease my worry
Hold me when I rattle like a hummingbird hummin'
Tie me to the rocks on the mountain my savior made

Lie to me, sing me a song
Sing me a song until the mornin' comes
And if the mornin' come, will you lie to me?
Will you take me to your bed, will you lay me down
'Til I'm heavy like the rocks on the riverbed
That my savior made for us

I wanna be the bluebird singin'
Singin' to the roses in her yard
The roses in her yard, her father grew for her

It's been rainin' that Tennessee honey
So long I got too heavy to fly
There ain't no bluebird ever get too heavy to sing

Lie to me, sing me a song
Sing me a song until the mornin' comes
And if the mornin' don't come, will you lie to me
Will you take me to your bed, will you lay me down
'Til I'm heavy like the rocks on the riverbed
That my savior made for us

Please

We burned the cotton fields down in the valley
And ended up with nothin' but scars
The scars became the lessons
That we gave to our children after the war

There ain't nothin' but the truth
Up on the Magnolia Mountain where nobody ever dies
Steady your soul and ease your worry
They got a room for you

Lie to me like I lie to you
Calm me down until the mornin' comes
And if the mornin' don't come lie to me
Will you take me to your bed, will you lay me down
All heavy like the rocks in the riverbed
That my savior made for us

Please

For us, for me

For us, for me
